Hi,
After 9 years living in London, I moved to Kent two months ago and now have a large backyard, vegetable garden and orchard to call my own! It's all a bit of a mess as the previous owner doesn't seem to have done any gardening since 2010: picture grass up to my waist in the orchard, bramble over my head in the vegetable garden and a pond that, well, isn't really a pond.
I've never had a pond before so was looking forward to it, particularly as we were told all about the three pheasants that came in every day to drink. Ha!
If I've managed to attach my photo correct, you'll see the pond is full of some kind of plant, sludge and not much water. I'd like to know if I can salvage it and how I should go about it. I'm thinking I need to pull everything out but there are frogs living there which I don't want to upset.
Thanks,
Nikki
